  1. 9.0 |   The Observer

    Aglow with creative energy and eccentricity, this is beautiful stuff.

  2. 8.0 |   The Times

    Understated loveliness and a childlike innocence that is never cloying

  3. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Print edition only

  4. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Isn’t quite the gaudy-T-shirted teambuilding horror it threatened to be. But Múm would do well to note that a quiet, solitary hum can be just as stirring as a rousing chorus.

  5. 7.0 |   Rave Magazine

    This is an earthier, more inviting múm – either an attractive or disappointing prospect, depending on where you stand with these wide-eyed Iceland natives

    Print edition only

  7. 6.0 |   musicOMH

    These twelve tracks make for diverting and beguiling company for the fifty or so minutes spent with them.

  8. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    A sweet hotpot of northern European record-making.

  9. 5.0 |   FasterLouder

    They are capable of better than this and hopefully like their homeland they will soon be facing in the right direction

  10. 5.0 |   PopMatters

    The unavoidable truth is, Múm is struggling to find itself. For a band that once incited cultish adoration, changing directions is a very risky, but necessary, move

  11. 3.9 |   Pitchfork

    An entirely peaceful, largely melancholy, and clearly well-meaning record. Unfortunately, it's also filled with bewildering decision after bewildering decision.

Lorde  Virgin

Because for all the grand ideas here, it feels like Lorde has more to say about them, and as the aesthetic and songcraft of Virgin illustrates — almost despite all of this — she is more than skilled enough to do so Beats Per Minute

Frankie Cosmos  Different Talking

Different Talking feels like Frankie Cosmos finally coming into its own. By self-producing, the band articulates a broader sound palette than on 2022’s Inner World Peace Northern Transmissions
